He has, what a lovely man, even our dog likes him, and generally she is very nervous of men
A few jobs to finish off tomorrow, but the solar is on, new aircon is fitted, and most important, the cause of the leak was located and solved. The roof had been punctured by the previous aircon fitters.
Now sat in the van with a glass of wine, looking forward to a non leaky van from now on

I've just seen @jamesvanbitz has seen this. James, you should post the pictures of the old unit on here so that people know how not to fit an aircon unit!

The black "Dot" in the middle of the picture is a hole that was made by the original Air Conditioning installer

Cleaned up a bit. The hole is very visible. This would have been done when the original vent was removed or the Air Conditioning unit installed
Subsequent requests and complaints to the original Air Con installers resulted in the whole A/C being sealed in and even a "Dam" attempted to be fabricated to stop the water ingress! You have to ask where the hell they thought the water would go!

It was always going to leak!

So to be fair to the OP if I had put up with a leaky roof for a while and I was dealing with incompetence I would be excited if I thought that my problem was going to be resolved lol

One last one! If you Air Conditioning installer or dealer suggests that this is an OK to wire an A/C unit in, be scared, be very scared lol

Moral of the story people, if you want a job done properly, go to the experts! I would post up the after pictures, but it's dark, and I don't have a ladder. Inside, there is damage caused by the previous installer, but that conduit is long gone!
The people in the pitch next to me must think I'm a looney, I went outside and stood on a wall to see the roof

No wonder you were excited to get it done properly! What a shoddy job initially and thank goodness Vanbitz could rectify it before water ingress became a major problem.

OK, I have finished my tea, and Con Air on the telly is getting boring, so here is the first 'after' pic. The tear in the roof paper is from removal of the weird conduit, the aircon has been on dehumidify for about 2 hours since this photo was taken, and it is barely noticeable now. This is how a professionally fitted aircon panel looks!
I am dead happy with how this job has progressed, I am predicting a lot of Britstops in the near future

When we bought our last van OH asked the dealer if he could look at the roof! They were most surprised but fetched a ladder, after having a previous van that ponded and eventually caused water ingress he wanted to check. Good job he did , the roof was totally green and covered in pine needles obviously when the valet was done they didn't do the roof?! That was rectified before we drove it away. How many of us do check?
